    Measurable Word-of-Mouth

    Move beyond vanity metrics to track, measure, and scale word-of-mouth marketing with real revenue attribution.

    What Is Measurable Word-of-Mouth?

    Traditional word-of-mouth happens organically but invisibly. Measurable word-of-mouth applies tracking and attribution to referral sharing, turning an opaque channel into a data-driven acquisition strategy.

    • Full attribution from share to conversion
    • Revenue tracking by referrer and campaign
    • A/B testable like any paid channel
    • ROI calculable with precision

    FAQ

    wordOfMouth.faq.title

    How accurate is referral attribution?

    With proper implementation, 95%+ of referral conversions can be accurately attributed. Social Pay uses multiple tracking methods for maximum accuracy.

    Can I track offline word-of-mouth?

    Only when it leads to online purchases through tracked links. Pure offline recommendations remain unmeasurable, but digital tracking captures the majority of referral value.

    How does this compare to UTM tracking?

    UTM tracking works for campaigns but not individual referrers. Social Pay generates unique links per customer for granular attribution.
